Is there a tool that I can use to scrape and see metatags?

[Gavo]

Looking for a tool that allows me to scrape the websites off a page listing of Google and output a spreadsheet with the websites and their related meta-tag details (mainly title tag). Is there a tool out there that can conveniently allow me to do this?

[Gavo]

Thanks for everyone's responses! Matt-Antonino, I'll look to implement that solution. Appreciate it!

Thanks for sharing Matt-Antonino.

That's good to know!

You can do this fairly easily with ImportXML in Google docs or xpath in Excel.

This is the guide that got me started:

If you use Chrome, finding the xpath is fairly simple and then you can just add it to your list.

The other way to do this is use Seer's Top 30 Results Scraper alongside the SEO Tools Excel plugin:

In Excel tools simply use =htmltitle() and get the info you need.

Also keep in mind that search engines will change the title displayed in the SERP based on your query, so if you just get the info presented in the SERP, you may not be seeing the actual title tag.

Agreed Donna! It would be nice if Screaming Frog did that but it doesn't. I'm not sure of any existing tools that would do that.

You can run each site from the SERP through Screaming Frog to get all that data exported but that would take a good amount of time!

[DonnaDuncan]

I don't think you can use Screaming Frog for that. It will certainly give you a ton of information about a single website, but it doesn't allow you to scrape Google search results and derive meta data for the top X results. Unless I'm missing something....

Screaming Frog is a great tool for this.
